Japan, officially called Nippon, is an archipelago of 6852 mountainous and volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is surrounded by the Sea of Japan, East China Sea and Sea of Okhotsk. The four largest islands, namely Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, consist of 97 percent of 377,873 square kilometres of the total land in Japan.  

The name 'Nippon' means the sun’s origin and Japan is nicknamed as the 'land of the rising sun'. Japan was first inhabited in 30000 B.C. by hunters. The migrants from China and Korea brought along agriculture and metallurgy to Japan. The country was one of the allies in World War I. However, during the World War II Japan had to witness incidents like Pearl Harbour and nuclear bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Japanese is the official language and most of the population follows Buddhism or Shintoism. Tokyo, Yokohoma, Osaka and Kyoto, the former capital of the country, are the four major cities of Japan. Though a roughly homogeneous population resides here, it is home to many old and diverse forms of art and culture.

The country has the world's oldest unitary constitutional monarchy. It is the third largest economy in the world, with a population of 127 million which is the tenth largest in the world. Two third of the economic output is generated by the service sector, while a technologically advanced industrial sector specialises in consumer electronics.

Japan is popular for sumo wrestlers and various martial arts like Kendo, Judo and Karate. Moreover, the ancient culture of Geisha and the modern narrow gauge bullet trains have played a major role in forming Japan's identity. Mt. Fuji, an active volcano, has become a well known symbol of Japan and is visited by thousands of tourists every year.

While Kabuki and Noh are popular styles of theatre, the Bunraku puppet play is also famous. Japanese flower arrangements called Ikebana, paper folding art called Origami and Japanese tea ceremony have become household names all over the world. The culture of Ninja and Samurai also find their origin in Japan.

Japan is ideal for tourists who look for futuristic cityscapes, traditional heritage and a culturally rich experience. Japan has four distinct seasons and the best time to visit the country is the cherry blossom season of November and April. For sports lovers, the winter season from January to March is ideal for skiing in the northern regions of Japan.

Beijing is the capital of China and it is recognised as one of the oldest and greatest cities of the world. In Chinese, ‘Beijing’ means ‘Northern Capital’.  In the year 1421, Emperor Yongle shifted the capital from Nanjing to Beiping and renamed it Beijing. Famed emperors such as Shi Huang Ti and Kublai Khan are associated with the history of this city.

The celebrated Ming and Qing dynasties ruled from Beijing. The city saw the rise and fall of many regimes and governments since it was founded. Beijing is the political, cultural and educational capital of the People’s Republic of China.

Beijing is located at the northernmost end of the North China Plain in the time zone of East Eight (GMT 8). All major international airlines include Beijing in their destinations. There are mountains running from the north of the city through to the West to shield it from the effects of arid climate.

It stands 45 metres above sea-level and the climate is generally humid. Five rivers flow through the city and the Yongding is the largest. The city and its suburbs measure more than 16,000 sq, and about two-thirds of the city is mountainous. The sixteen districts and two counties are well-connected by four ring roads that coil the city and by a major median road connecting the east-end of Beijing with the west.

The three major styles of architecture that dominate the city are imperial, post-war and modern. The best time to visit the city is from September to November. It is home to around 22 million people.  Beijing is a highly industrialised city with hundreds of factories, banks and corporations apart from 26 offices of some of the world Fortune 500 companies.

Beijing generates an annual GDP of about USD 175 billion. The real estate and automobile sectors have seen a steady growth in the last decade. The Central Business District and the Wangfujing, also known as the ‘Silicon Valley of China’ has together played a major role in creating new wealth for the city and the nation.
The meteoric rise of China in the last decade has been attributed to the numerous new companies set up in Beijing.

The government recently took up measures to counter the growing menace of air pollution in the city by relocating industries, triggering artificial rainfall to clear smog, converting some areas of the city into no-vehicle zones and designating certain other areas as closed for traffic on weekends.

About Zuluk Tourism

Located in the lower Himalayas in east Sikkim, Zuluk is situated at an altitude of 10,000 feet. This location is an untouched tourism destination, which has been less explored. It has gained importance owing to its strategic location on the historic Old Silk Route and its proximity to the Indo-China border.

The Old Silk Route was the official corridor between India and China. It originates from Kalimpong and passes through Pedong, Aritar, Zuluk and Jelepla to Chumbi valley located in Tibet. However, after the Chinese aggression, this route was closed and Nathula was made the official corridor between India and China.

In addition, an army base is located at Zuluk, which is utilised as a transit camp for the army movement towards the Chinese border. Majority of the inhabitants comprise of immigrants of Nepal, who settled at Zuluk for a better future. Since Zuluk is inhabited mostly by Nepali migrants, the village is dominated by Sikkimese Nepalese culture.

Dashain, celebrated in the month of October, is the biggest festival and is also the most prominent festival of the region. Furthermore, Tihar is another famous festival, which is celebrated 15 days after Dashain. In addition to these festivals, dances are also performed to celebrate the cultivating and harvesting seasons in the region. The 'Dhan Naach' and 'Maruni' are two popular dance forms of this region.

Besides festivals and dances, Zuluk is also famous for Sunrise Point, which provides a beautiful view of the rising sun. Another prominent attraction of the destination is the Tsomogo Lake, which is a popular picnic spot. In addition, travellers visiting the destination can offer homage at the Nag Temple and the Adi Baba Mandir. Apart from this, the Lungthung and the Luxmi Chowk are popular among wildlife and nature lovers.

Zuluk can be reached through airways, roadways and railways. The nearest airport serving the destination is Bagdogra Airport, which is located at a distance of 128 km from Zuluk. From there, tourists can reach the village by road. Those travelling by trains are served by the New Jalpaiguri Station, which is the nearest train station serving Zuluk. In addition to this, Zuluk can be reached via road through Gangtok and Siliguri.

The best time to visit Zuluk is during the summer season, when the village is blooming with a variety of rhododendrons.

"Where the clouds are formed"

Malshejghat Experience: Malshej Ghat is heaven located a stone's throw away from Mumbai and Pune. It is not at all commercialised making it ideal for a peaceful and tranquil holiday. The view is just amazing and there are some things you will experience that you have never seen before - like clouds being formed and a reverse waterfall. It is best visited during the monsoons as the lush green surroundings just make it simply stunning. You can even spot some interesting fauna there. Flamingos are said to visit Malshej during the monsoons.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: There is not much to do at Malshej except, sit, relax, sip on some tea and enjoy the view and the weather. The climate is just perfect for that. The sight-seeing is limited to the viewpoint, but you can never have enough of that. Shivneri fort is located about 30 kms away, and there is a dam 6 kms away.
Activities & things to do: You will need a car to be able to explore the area. You can explore the area where the hotel is located and will find hidden viewpoints. During the monsoons, it is also fun to go scouting for waterfalls that emerge on the roads and other places. You can take a ride to the dam and the fort if you feel like it.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: You can take a train to the nearest station, that is Kalyan and there are ST buses and cars on rent available there. Otherwise you can drive down to Malshej. It is about 160 kms from Mumbai and will take around 3-4 hours. You have to drive down to Kalyan and take the road towards Murud. It is advisable to plan your journey such that you travel while it is still daylight. The ghats leading to Malshej are quite dangerous and unsafe after dark. Even the locals do not traverse that road alone after sunset since visibility gets low. Low clouds and mist make it difficult to navigate before 11 am and after 6 pm.

Switzerland is a small landlocked country spread over an area of around 41,285 square kilometres. Located in the heart of central Europe, Switzerland is surrounded by Germany in the north and France in the north and west. To the east of the country lies Austria and Liechtenstein, while to the south lies Italy.

The country is divided geographically between the Alps, the Jura and the Central Plateau. Switzerland is divided into states, which are referred to as Cantons. There are 26 Cantons within the country and each Canton has its own flag.

The history of the country dates back around 350,000 BC and there are evidences which support that Stone Age hunters have resided in the country even before the Last Ice Age. However, the modern history of the country describes that Switzerland was conquered by Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars, after which it was made part of the Roman Empire.

Until the 4th century AD, the country remained a Roman province. However after the decline of the Roman Empire, the country was invaded by German tribes from the north as well as from the west. In 800, Switzerland became part of Charlemagne's empire, which later passed under the rule of the German Emperors.

In 1291, an Eternal Alliance was signed between the representatives of the three forest Cantons of Unterwalden and Uri Schwyz to fight against the Hapsburgs. In the 1315 battle of Morganten, the Swiss defeated the Hapsburg army. By doing so, they secured quasi-independence within the German Empire.

In 1648, under the treaty of Westphalia, European countries recognised independence of Switzerland from the Roman Empire. Decades later, in 1798, the country was conquered by the French.

In 1815, the country again re-established its independence with the help of the Treaty of Vienna and Second Peace of Paris. The countries that participated in this treaty agreed that the Swiss from now on will be recognised as a permanent neutral power.

Switzerland adopted a federal constitution in 1848 and amended it extensively in 1874 and again in 1999. This established the country's responsibility regarding legal matters and defence trade. Since that time, the history of Switzerland has been characterised by continual political, social and economic improvement.

The country showcases three most distinct cultures of Europe, namely French, German and Italian. The influence of this cultural amalgamation can be seen in the art, architecture, music and literature of the country.

Switzerland is especially known for its beautiful architecture, and the famous sculptor Alberto Giacometti and architect Le Corbusier are also from Switzerland. In addition, the country is known for its mountains, landscapes and chocolates and cheese.

The best time to visit the country is during the summer season that extends from June to September. During this season, the weather is pleasant and the temperature is around 30° Celsius.

The Maldives is an island nation and is officially known as the Republic of Maldives. It is an archipelago of 1,190 coral islands that lie in the Indian Ocean. Composed of a double chain of 26 coral atolls, the country is located in the Laccadive Sea.

Situated at the intersection of Lakshadweep and Chagos group of islands, the archipelago is actually the summit of mountain ranges located in the Indian Ocean. The featured 1,190 islets of the country are located at a distance of 700 km to the south-west of Sri Lanka and south-west of India.

Spread over an expansive area of 90,000 square kilometres, it is the world's most dispersed country, in terms of geographic area. Malé is the largest city and the capital of the country. It is strategically situated at the southern edge of North Malé Atoll in the Kaafu Atoll.

Maldives is the smallest country in the world in terms of population and land area. It is also the lowest country in the world, with a ground level of 1.5 metres. The uniqueness of the island lies in the fact that it has the lowest highest point in the world, which is 2.3 metres above sea level.

The atolls are made of live coral reefs and sand bars, which do not support vegetation. However, the country has an abundance of marine life, which are important both from the biological and commercial point of view. Reef sharks, moray eels, stingray, eagle ray and whale shark are some of the rich marine life of the waters surrounding the islands.

The historic records of Maldives show that the country has remained independent throughout its known history. The country was inhabited by the Aryans in 1,500 B.C. It was a trade centre and contributed to the trade of pearls, spices, coconuts, dried fish and cowry shells to other parts of the world.

However, records also state that the country was occupied by the Portuguese in the 16th century. It was a part of the British Protectorate from the years 1887 to 1965. Thereafter, the country came under the Sultanate reign and was ruled by Mohamed Fareed. The country became a republic in 1932.

The culture of the island country has been influenced by Sri Lanka and southern India.  Dhivehi, an Indo-European language, is the official language of the Maldives. Maldives became a Muslim country in mid-12th century. Sunni Islam is the official religion of the country.

The traditional dress of the Dhivehi is the Libas. The dress is adorned with hand stitched gold and silver neckline, called the Kasabu Bovalhu and matching embroidery on the sleeve cuffs. The Libas is complemented with a head dress called the Rumafalhi.

Tourism in the country began with 2 resorts in the year 1972. These resorts were the Bandos island resort and Kurumba Village. Today, there are 91 resorts. Tourism is the largest economic activity and accounts for 28% of the GDP of the country.

Tourists are drawn to the island to enjoy its beaches and water activities. The archipelago is also a paradise for honeymooners. Couples visiting the island also opt for weddings at the beach resorts. Christmas and February to April are the major tourist seasons of the Maldives.

"This is a place created by God for complete relaxation"

"Relax by the lake side."

Kumarakom Experience: Kumarakom, where the famous backwaters of Kerala exist, is a place created by God for complete relaxation. Or was it man that made the place so? In any case, there is nothing like Kumarakom to rejuvenate your mind and body. Take a room by Lake Vembanad, that impossibly large lake that borders Kumarakom, Alleppey and many other unknown towns and villages. Enjoy morning tea by the serene waters of the lake, go for a boat ride before the sun gets too hot and then when the wind starts blowing over the lake, spend the afternoon in the shade, enjoying the breeze and watching the restless waters of the lake move flower-filled floatsam along the lakes edge.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: A motor boat can be hired for your exclusive use (ask at the reception or go to the Government jetty and bargain for one) at the rate of around Rs.400/hour or you can get a speed boat (completely different experiences) for Rs.1,750/hour. Kumarakom is used to rich Europeans who dont need to share their boat with other mortals, thanks to a good exchange rate. With the INR appreciating against the Euro, it is likely that Kumarakom will see either lower rates or the concept of sharing of motorboats very soon! Then there are the houseboats. Kumarakom, I suppose, is one of the few places left after Kashmir where you can still sight-see by houseboat. You can hire the houseboat again for your exclusive use only- for 4 hours or for an overnight stay. Note that the houseboats drop anchor at 6 pm (Government rules) so you cant really glide over dark waters past lighted villages like in the thriller books. However, what you do get is a very royal experience of watching the lake and villages pass you by in the day while you recline on sofas in a covered viewing area and eat the fresh food served by the galley. Our hotel charged Rs.8,000 for an overnight stay and Rs.7,700/ for a 5 hour cruise. But the poorer of us travelers can take heart  the Government boat jetty charges a nominal Rs.1,500/hour and the houseboat is quite nice too  not as posh as our hotels was but with two neat rooms, a viewing gallery and tiny kitchen, it was quite sufficient for most travellers needs. After this long description of houseboats, I must confess I didnt spend money on one. I went for a motor boat ride instead and realized that 3 hours was more than I could manage on the still waters of the Vembanad lake. Upto a point it is interesting to see village life lived by the canal but I got bored after a couple of hours. The backwaters look stagnant and slightly dirty. And the lake looks the same after an hour. So a whole 5 hours spent on the lake was out of the question for me.
Activities & things to do: Try the Kathakali performance if you are interested in art. It is held in a shady looking building in the village and was quite a novel experience for me. At Rs.200/head for an hours performance, it felt expensive but was a nice treat from doing nothing for the rest of the day. The Driftwood Museum, a 20 minutes drive from the main resort-infested area of Kumarakom, makes for an interesting change too. Mrs.Leena Poonnoose charges Rs.50/head to show visitors the varied types of driftwood that she has collected over a lifetime in the Andamans. Her interest in the driftwood is contagious and her explanations of what the driftwood pieces represent very believable. Kumarakom is not for the active travelers, it is meant to be enjoyed at an extraordinarily relaxed pace indeed.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: There isnt much to do outside the hotel/resort as the place is basically a village, parts of which have been developed for tourism.

"It is a peaceful and raw destination... untouched and unexploited as of now"

"Heaven on earth"

Mysore Experience: The place was fabulous. the Mysore palace was really mesmerized. The light and sound show in the Vrindawan garden was an amazing experience for us. The fantasy of the palaces and the chamundi hill temple and the bull temple boasting its priority on the top of the hill really evidence of our mythology. The zoo was really a life time experience for my son. It was n amazing experience
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: The best attractions are mysore palace, chamundi hills temple, bull temple, zoo etc are the major places to visit. there are some restaurants near the mysore i remember may be pragati and rajasthani restaurant, we should not miss the light and sound show in vrindavan garden. In shopping wooden paintings and mysore silk sarees are worthy to purchase.
Activities & things to do: Shopping, sight seeing, evening walk specially in the dushera festival on the illuminating streets of mysore heading the palace.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Very easy from Bangalore there are plenty of buses and private cars to take you. buses by the travel agencies are safe as we r in a group. don;t purchase the things where your bus guide refers to purchase the things because it is expensive and he has his commission. sometimes they kill more time in such shops instead of showing us the other important things.

"Athirapilly : Calling Nature lovers !"

Athirappilly Experience: Travel approx 70 + kms from Cochin and then you reach Athirappilly, known for its beautiful waterfalls.It is a perfect one day trip to escape into the lush greenery from the busy city life. Beyond Athirappilly and the nearby waterfalls Vazhachal,lies the Sholyar ranges. This place maintains a rich flora and fauna and is the nest to many rare species of birds.The waterfalls are a part of the beautiful Chalakudy river.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Main attraction here is obviously the waterfalls and the road that leads you to them. Ezhattumugham prakrithi gramam would also be a good pitstop on the way to the falls. It is a park on the side of a check-dam at Ezhattumugham. If well kept this park can attract more tourists. Silverstorm amusement park Athirappilly would also be a good place to check out. On the way to Athirappilly and Vazhachal waterfalls there are many number of pitstops, rather view points for tourists to get down and take a walk. The lush greenery and water on either sides at few places adds to the scenic beauty. The beauty of this place has been brought into celluloid with much perfection by famous director Mani Ratnam in his film Raavan. I had stayed at rainforest resort, Athirampilly and since it is a luxury resort, their rates are on the higher side. But the amenities they offer are worth the rates. They have a well maintained pool, super spacious rooms, the walking area inside the resort is huge and its kept natural.The best part is if you could get to stay in the tree house (just 1 there ) and the direct view of the waterfalls that you get to see right from your window.They also have a private path that takes you to the waterfalls. If you are ready to spend a good sum on your stay then Rainforests (Abad property ) is the right choice for you.
Activities & things to do: As far as i know, there are no water games,boating or adventure sports being offered here. Travelers can walk up till the waterfalls over the rocks (at certain places they are slippery )There are guides/forest officers to ensure the safety of visitors and to make sure they do now get into areas marked as dangerous for swimming.If you go to silverstorm, that can easily take up a half day of yours.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Easily accessible from Angamaly or Chalakudy side. If your are taking the route from Angamaly, you pass Ezhattumugham too. But being a hard core traveler, the route i loved and would suggest would be coming from Pollachi side and then crossing Valparai and then cutting the dense Malakkiparai forests and then reaching Vazhachal Athirapalli. If you are lucky enough you can get to see wild elephants, bison or may be even a tiger :) Have seen news articles of tiger been spotted in Malakkaparai area.

Its a small unspoiled hill town, where you can trek to nature at its premium, giving it a feeling that you are the first man in the world to discover it.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is available every nook and corner but roadside joints offer food with a south Indian touch. But good hotel restaurants offer food of your choice. There are a wide number of sight seeing points all around Munnar. One must plan to stay at Munnar for two to four days to cover all of them. There is nothing much to shop at Munnar except for small souvenir items
Activities & things to do: Visit Echo Point, Kundala, Attukal water falls, Eravikulam wildlife sanctuary, Rajamala Wildlife Sanctuary, Devikulam Hill Station, Anamudi peak, Mattupetti Hill Station, Chinnakanal Waterfalls, Chithirapuram Hill Station and Lock Heart Gap. Try to cover Marayoor (40 Km from Munnar) also if time permits.One can also trek to unknown destinations aroud Munnar.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Nearest Airport as well as Rail head is Kochi about 130 km away. Buses are available from Kochi, but hiring a cab helps in coming to close contact with nature, there are a number of unknown sightseeing points on the way to Munnar, none of them will be missed ! So what are you waiting for ? Pack your baggage and you are out for an encounter with pristine nature, you will never forget !!!

El Nido, Palawan

Travel Philippines Islands Getaway PH Week Special

El Nido, Palawan. Dubbed as one of the best beach and island destinations in the Philippines by CNNGo, El Nido is  blessed with amazing views you want to wake up to every day—eye-popping limestone formations rising out of unbelievable clear waters, romantic lagoons, and virgin forests. You can easily forget the time and spend your days snorkelling, kayaking, or sunbathing on one of its several deserted white beaches.

Top 7 Philippine Beaches You Can’t Miss

Travel Philippines Beaches

 The Pink Beach in Santa Cruz Grande Island, Zamboanga. Travel photojournalist Lester Ledesma’s idea of the best beach is one that is off the beaten track. And the Pink Beach, half an hour from the southern city of Zamboanga, via pumpboat fits the bill. “The sand is lovely light pink, and the waters are crystalline. Behind the beach there's even a mangrove area that's good for trekking and birdwatching. Not much commerce there yet though, so you'll have to buy fish and barbecue from the local Badjao folk on the beach. Which is nice anyway,”

Siargao, Surigao

Travel Philippines Beaches

Siargao, Surigao. Dubbed by Lonely Planet as one of the top choices for surfing in the Philippines, this island is home to Cloud 9—the home base of many a local and international surfer. Not a fan of crowds? The area is dotted with many other uninhabited islets on which one can find their own stretch of seaside heaven.

Pamilacan Island, Bohol

Travel Philippines Beaches

Pamilacan Island, Bohol. Just off the coast of Bohol is Pamilacan Island, Travel Photographer Francisco Guerrero’s top beach destination. “It seems to be what a small tropical island paradise should be. Beautiful beach, a small island community, locally supported marine sanctuary—it’s just perfect,” says the host of the travel show, “What I See.” Visitors look forward to diving, dolphin watching, and snorkeling, and if you get tired of the beach, you can make arrangements to see Bohol’s other popular destination, the Chocolate Hills—a spectacle of close to 2,000 hills of limestone.

Puka Beach, Boracay

Travel Philippines Beaches

Puka Beach, Boracay. Those who want to steer clear of the partying crowd or tourist traps make their way to Puka, the second longest strip of beach on the island. Named after the Puka shells found all over the shore, the sand is not as fine as that of its sister strand, neither does it have any resorts, but CNN Travel recommends it for anyone Borcay-bound looking to escape the noise of White Beach.

White Beach, Boracay

Travel Philippines Beaches

White Beach, Boracay. Ranked by Nat Geo Traveler as one of the Best Beaches in the World for 2013, the island is known particularly for its powder-soft sand that never gets hot. Kite-surfing, sailing, snorkeling, getting massages, and partying are what visitors enjoy on this stretch of beach.

Any island in Palawan

Travel Philippines Beaches

Any island in Palawan, says The Guardian’s Gavin McOwan, is a dream destination for any beach bum. He also notes that “The Beach” novelist Alex Garland was inspired not by Thai beaches, but by Philippine coasts. Majestic limestone formations, underground rivers, turquoise waters, white, unspoilt sand and nearby diving destinations make for the perfect summer getaway.

White Island, Camiguin

Travel Philippines Beaches

White Island, Camiguin. Voted as the sun worshipper’s paradise by Essential Travel Magazine (http://www.essentialtravel.co.uk/magazine/top-10/international-beaches.asp), this sand bar is about two kilometers off of Camiguin, and emerges only when the tide starts to fall. Travel writer Clayton Truscott recommends renting a boat to take you to this flat white strip of sand. With not a tree or shrub in sight to give you shade, you’re bound to get sun-kissed in no time.
